Entering my sixth decade and a weight loss of over 35 pounds really took a toll on my face. My body looked better, but my face had lost a lot of volume, and looked sunken and tired. After consulting with Dr. Jason Emer, I underwent a procedure which improved my appearance 100%, made me look at least a decade younger, restored my self confidence. I couldn't be happier with the results. Dr.... more

So I'm a pretty vain guy: I work out, try and eat right most of the time, and generally care what I look like. I've known Jason from his days in NYC where he practiced on friends, and they all had rave reviews. I've tried to keep the process natural, but Jason gave me a lot of information on a few different options that I looked into and liked the sound of.Since I was out here in San Fran... more

Before I met Dr. Gray, I was very skeptical of Radiesse in general- I was always told it was a "hard" filler and could never look natural. I've had Juvederm lip injections previously & was told its a "soft natural filler" so I thought I'd always stick with Juvederm. Anyway, I wanted a little more definition in my cheek bones & Dr. Gray told me he typically used Radiesse- I was nervous but I... more

I got my first tube of Radiesse this weekend. I'm a little on the thin side. This is great for my body, but not so great for my face. Thank you to the creator of fillers. I received an injection in my laugh line areas, and in the cheeks. Definitely not a comfortable experience, but worth the pain. My face looks slighter fuller, but in a very subtle way. No one seemed to noticed, not my super... more

I went in with a considerable loss of volume in my cheeks just from aging.(I am 45 and )Along with the cheek volume loss, it caused my nasolabial folds to be more pronounced and I had considerable crinkling under my eyes where the cheeks meet the tear trough area. This had made my face looked dragged down and I felt I looked so much older.
Dr. Mabrie used a combination of radiesse for the... more

Review for Dr. Elizabeth Lee:
This is a review in praise of Dr. Elizabeth Lee.
I had wanted surgery for the bags under my eyes, as well as lip filler to counter act the thinning and signs of age which I was not ready to accept. My previous year had been trying, my face worse for the wear.
As I do not live in California, and was in for only a short stay, Dr.... more

I hate this product! Unless your doctor can guarantee you absolutely perfect results you should avoid this product! A few years ago I saw a very well known board certified plastic surgeon for some Juvederm in my tear troughs. The results were amazing! I loved how refreshed I looked and had a ton of compliments. Well in the beginning of February 2012 I went back to the same Dr. to see if my... more

I have always lacked volume in the midface, and it has become more noticeable with age. I am in my late 20's, and have become paranoid about looking "old" because of it. Additionally, I have/had some lip asymmetry and less-than-prominent chin that benefited from little tweaks here and there.
I just went in yesterday for fillers (both Radiesse and Restylane) to my tear trough,... more

My doctor mixes Radiesse with lidocaine so there's virtually no pain involved. I initially got it for increasing lost volume in my face and under eye areas. In my mind, its much better than restylane.I had little bruising and very little swelling. Its thicker than restylane so its much better for taking on the more

I had Radiesse injected into the nasolabial folds just under two weeks ago. It came out well. I am scheduled for a facial/extraction tomorrow and I am slightly worried that my aggressive (but thorough) esthetician may displace the Radiesse. I can't see it under my skin, but when I touch it, I can feel a soft mass. I don't know if it is supposed to feel like this or not, but it looks good so... more

For increase in cheek in volume. Saw great initial improvement. As time goes on- my cheek area appears to have flattened. I suspect I did not get enough Radiesse initially, I am considering getting another injection.
The Plastic Surgeon mixed the Radiesse with lidocaine. I felt no discomfort and had minimal swelling. No bruising.
I had 1 syringe of Rad more

I’m 36, an ex-smoker, and weigh less than 100 pounds, so my facial fat pads are long gone. Thankfully, a little help goes a long way, which is why I’ve been dabbling in fillers for about a year. I’m one day out from having 1 syringe of Radiesse injected into the corners of my mouth, where I’d previously had Juvederm. (I’d also used Juvederm to treat more

I am 48 and tall and quite thin. For the last year people have been commenting more and more on how thin I am. Although my weight hasn't changed, the area under my checks was starting to look "sucked in". Also note that even with this, I look young for my age (late 30's to early 40's) and have very few wrinkles. So, after much hesitation and quite a bit of research I decided to... more

I had the Radiesse injected under my eyes to help the small amount of hollowness. The sad thing is i am a nurse and had it done in our office. I was very swollen and i also had a very painful sinus infection. I had to be put on septra for the infection. They said it had nothing to do with the radiesse but i think diffrent. I am olny 29 years old and now have on one side a red papule under my... more
